Basics

Consonants

There are 14 basic consonants in Korean and five double consonants
which are formed from the basic consonantsㄱ,ㄷ,ㅂ,ㅅ, andㅈrespectively.

Vowels

There are eight basic vowel sounds along with 13 other complex
vowel sounds. These complex vowels are called diphthongs, which are
combinations of no more than two vowels. Whereas multiple vowels are normally
voiced in separate syllables, each vowel composing a diphthong is voiced
together within one syllable. As you can also see just from looking, most
diphthongs are combinations of two basic vowels.

All basic vowels are created by three types of strokes. The first
stroke symbolizes Heaven and is a dot (•), though in modern Korean this dot is just a simple, short
stroke. The next type of stroke symbolizes earth and is a horizontal line (ㅡ). The final stroke symbolizes man (ㅣ). These symbols are combined to create the Korean vowels, for
example | plus • makesㅏ.

Syllable Blocks

Korean words are written from left to right and words are formed
by writing each syllable in a block-like shape. Each letter inside the block
forms a sound. The word for 'person' is사람, romanized as 'saram,' and consists of two syllables. The
lettersㅅ+ㅏmake the syllable block of사('sa'), whileㄹ+ㅏ+ㅁmake the next syllable람('ram'). The picture below will show you a sound
approximation of each of the Korean sounds contained in the word. Also note
that written Korean doesn't actually draw boxes around the syllables, this is
just for illustrative purposes.

Korean
syllables are organized into blocks of letters that have a beginning consonant,
a middle vowel, and an optional final consonant. A syllable block is composed
ofa minimum of two letters, consisting of at least one consonant and one
vowel. In our lesson plan, Steps 2, 3 and 4 will focus on just words with a
consonant and one horizontal vowel, and words with a consonant and one vertical
vowel (see below). Step 5 will introduce the final consonant concept and step 6
will show syllables that can consist of double vowels.

Also
note if you want to write only a vowel, it must be written with the consonantㅇ, which acts as a silent placeholder for the
consonant position. Why? Think of the ying and the yang concept. If one wants
to write the vowelㅏ, they would have to write it as아withㅇbeing a silent placeholder for the consonant position. An easy way
to remember this is to think of theㅇas a zero. More examples below:

Writing

As already mentioned, Korean words are written from left-to-right
and top-to-bottom in block-like forms. In the next few sections you will learn
how to write each letter and its appropriate stroke order. While stroke order
may not seem important at first, it is important when writing Korean naturally
and helps others to be able to read your handwriting. The shapes and size of
the letters can be stretched or compressed to fill in the block space and to
make it evenly sized with other all other syllables. In the example below, you
can see how the size and shape of the letterㄱchanges to fill in this imaginary block (highlighted in
sky blue).
